Upstate New York refers to that portion of New York State which is not part of the [New York City] Metropolitan area. There is some debate as to the southernmost point of Upstate New York, but a general consensus exists that anything north of Westchester and Rockland Counties qualifies. Upstate New York differs from Long Island, New York City, and Westchester/Rockland in a number of ways, among them: 1) Lower [population density]; 2) Lower socioeconomic status; 3) More [conservative] politics; 4) Midwestern accent and culture; 5) Colder winters with much greater snow totals. Upstate New York has been in decline, economically, for many decades. Many of its cities, such as Schenectady and Buffalo, have experienced substantial de-population since the mid-20th Century. As a result, many Upstate New York residents harbor a great deal of resentment towards "Downstate".
